Now that the kids are back in school, our house has been filled with the hustle and bustle of the kids coming and coming, backpacks, clothes, and papers strewn about.
First Day of School 2016
Over the summer, when it came to meals, I’ll admit, we were a bit lax. There were mornings when the kids slept in, when they skipped breakfast, when all they ate was pizza and sweets. It was summer, it was fun, and now, it’s over. With school back in session, I have been doing my best to make sure the kids are up early and have a good breakfast before they start their day.
Our Morning Routine
As you can probably imagine, our house is quite chaotic, especially in the mornings. With 4 kids in 3 different schools with 3 different start times, we have to do our best to stay on schedule to make sure everyone ends up where they need to be when they need to be there.
6:00 am – Wake up teenagers.
6:10 am – Wake up teenagers.
6:15 am – Wake up teenagers.
6:30 am – Wake up teenagers.
Okay….after 6:30 am, we spend the next 30 minutes waking up the oldest teenager because the other one usually gets up right away. Once they are up, we do our best to get them to eat breakfast at home but they are 16 & 17 so they usually fly out the door right at 7 and grab something on the way or at school.
7:00 am – Wake up the 3rd grader. This usually also manages to wake up the 4K kid and the preschooler.
7:15 am – Breakfast.
Now as much as I would love to prepare the kids a hot breakfast at home before they head off to school every morning, it’s just not feasible for our family or our schedule, this is why we turn to the easy breakfast for kids: cereal.
As parents, we get busy and when that happens we do our best to provide our kids with a meal that will fill their bellies before they head off to school. Our kids love having cereal for breakfast and often times choose Post® Honey Bunches of Oats® as their breakfast of choice. I like to think that it is because I would eat it straight out of the box when I was pregnant with them.
